I'm not with the babies dad anymore and he has made it clear he will only be with me during labour if his new girlfriend (who he has known for 3 weeks can come too) point blank I said No Way! Anyway I live 200 miles away from my family so can't rely on a member being here on time.. The only friends I have round here are mummy's friends through my daughters school. A few of the mums have offered to be my birthing partner but I just don't feel close enough to any of them. So I just feel maybe I should do it alone? Has anyone done it alone? Just looking for advice really.
